A few nights ago, Meralco import Akil Mitchell was visualizing the immensity of taking down league-leading NorthPort in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup.
And when he and the Bolts had that chance, Meralco turned that thought into something concrete on Tuesday night by cutting the top-ranked Batang Pier down to size, 111-94, at Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Malate, Manila.FEATURED STORIES SPORTS PBA: Converge frustrates Rain or Shine; Yeng Guiao ejected in loss SPORTS NBA: Pistons emerging as a serious surprise story this season SPORTS Meralco forces outage of NorthPort offense, stops ‘real deal’ top squad
“NorthPort’s been playing really good basketball. They’ve been taking down quality teams,” Meralco coach Luigi Trillo said. “And like some of the coaches said, they are the real deal. But I think today, we just played better defensively.”
"This series is not just about the two teams playing; it's about reviving the spirit of hockey in Delhi. We hope this will inspire more young players from the region to take up the game," Harmanpreet stated in a press release issued by Hockey India.
Hockey India President Dilip Tirkey expressed his enthusiasm and stated: "This bilateral series against Germany will be a remarkable showcase of world-class hockey. Both India and Germany have a rich history in the sport, and this series will give fans an opportunity to witness an intense competition between two of the most formidable teams in the world.
